Send a textRahul N Singh returns to The Bearded Mystic Podcast after 3–4 months to reflect on spirituality, especially seva (selfless service), humility, and remaining an observer rather than the doer amid praise and criticism. He discusses measuring humility by seeing others as the highest, God, or Guru, and notes how family feedback can reveal ego. He shares that increased reading has deepened his sense of “not knowing,” while non-dual, Formless Awareness feels undeniable and effortless when not forcing outcomes. Referencing his Guru's teaching on self-introspection (artan), he describes witnessing thoughts, emotions, roles, and challenges without identifying with them, cultivating detachment and peace. He outlines stages of disidentification from body, mind, and even soul/jeev imprints, warning that ego can co-opt ideas like “I am God.” He invites listener reflections and plans more episodes now that his son is in school.Support the showSupport me via Paypal: https://www.paypal.biz/beardedmysticJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hnRf7wESwXVisit my website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/Want a one-on-one spiritual discussion with The Bearded Mystic - book here: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/p/spiritual-discussion/You can follow me and contact me on social media:TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdk3HPJh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBeardedMysticPodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Bearded-Mystic-PodcastBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/beardedmystic.bsky.socialBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast

In our second episode on the Mahabharata, the great Indian epic from c. 300 BCE, we dive into what is perhaps the most famous section of it: the 700 verses that make up the Bhagavad Gita. We discuss the main points of this foundational Hindu scripture, which recounts a discussion between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer, Krishna on the eve of an apocalyptic battle. We also discuss debates around its authorship and explore the profound influence it had on Mahatma Gandhi, who didn't read it until he was a young law student in London, when some friends he made at a vegetarian restaurant recommended it to him.

Introspective Discussion Questions from Bhagavad Gita 3.1 to 3.15For group contemplation, discussion, and peer teachingShri Krishna tells Arjuna that no one can remain without action even for a moment, because the guṇas of prakṛti compel action whether we choose it or not. If action is truly inevitable, then the spiritual life is not about choosing between action and inaction but about the quality of engagement we bring to what we are already doing. Think about the most ordinary, repetitive part of your day, something you do almost on autopilot. What would it look like to bring complete presence and intentionality to that one activity for an entire week? And what do you think would begin to shift, not just in the activity itself, but in you?Arjuna asks Shri Krishna a question that many of us carry but rarely voice. If inner clarity and understanding are what truly matter, then why should I engage in difficult, uncomfortable, even painful action? We have all had moments where we knew something needed to be done, a difficult conversation, a challenging responsibility, a stand that needed to be taken, but we talked ourselves out of it using reasoning that sounded wise at the time. Without needing to share the specific situation, can you describe the kind of reasoning the mind produces in those moments? What does the voice of avoidance sound like when it disguises itself as wisdom? And how might we, as practitioners, develop a reliable inner test to tell the difference between genuine discernment and sophisticated avoidance?In verses 3.10 through 3.15, Shri Krishna describes a cycle of mutual nourishment that sustains all of life. Beings are sustained by food, food arises from rain, rain arises from yajña, and yajña arises from action rooted in the Imperishable. This is not just ancient cosmology. It is a description of how every living system works, whether an ecosystem, a family, a workplace, or a community. Everything that sustains us arrived through a chain of contribution that stretches far beyond what we can see. Take a few minutes to trace backward from something simple that you received today, your morning meal, a piece of clothing, the fact that clean water came from your tap, and follow the chain of hands and forces and systems that made it possible. What does it do to your inner state when you hold that awareness? And if you held it not just in this moment but throughout an ordinary day, how might it change the way you move through your interactions and responsibilities?Shri Krishna draws a clear line in verse 3.9. Action performed in the spirit of yajña, as an offering to something larger than personal gain, does not bind. Action performed for any other purpose creates bondage. This means the same action can liberate or bind depending entirely on the inner spirit behind it. Think about your primary daily activity, whether that is your work, your studies, your care of a household, or anything else that takes up the largest portion of your waking hours. Without changing the activity itself, what would it feel like to approach it tomorrow as an offering rather than an obligation? What is the smallest, most concrete shift in inner posture you could experiment with this week, and what do you think might change if you actually did it?krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna)pragmaticgita.com

In addition to our chanting 16 rounds daily, we must all read at least one chapter of the Bhagavad-gītā. Read one chapter one day then go on to the next chapter the next day and in this way, after 18 days, we will have completed one reading. After four or five such complete reading we will know Bhagavad-gītā as it is and our questions and doubts will be answered.

Chapter 5, v. 6-10 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 teaches how karma yoga purifies the mind and reveals the freedom of non-doership. This episode examines why renunciation is difficult without yoga, how selfish motive binds the soul, and how offering all actions to God dissolves the sense of doership. Learn how the lotus leaf metaphor illustrates living fully in the world while remaining inwardly free. This teaching illuminates the path of selfless service, purification of the mind, and awakening through daily life.

We recently completed Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita — a raw and honest moment where Arjuna admits, "My mind is more restless than the wind." But before we dive into Chapter 7 (where everything shifts), I want to pause and explore an important question that naturally arises right here: How do the yogic teachings on Ananda (bliss) compare to the Christian understanding of grace — and why do these two paths feel so different in the body? This episode is a bridge — between effort and surrender, empowerment and comfort, self-regulation and devotion — as we explore this question from a comparative, academic, and curious lens.  This is not to prescribe belief, but to deepen understanding and set the stage for what's coming next in the Gita.

Electric motors without rare earths, a hardware-first climate tech startup, and a mission to replace 1 billion gas engines in a decade. In this SPOTLIGHT episode, Abhay speaks with Ankit Somani, CEO and cofounder of Conifer, about redesigning electric motors and powertrains with simple, widely available materials so electrification can actually scale.They break down what rare earth materials really are, why they're so toxic and geopolitically fragile, and how that impacts everything from EVs and data centers to humanoid robots and everyday devices. Ankit explains why Conifer is betting on hardware in a software-obsessed world, what it takes to raise capital for hard tech, and how to tell a big, unconventional story that still feels real to customers and investors.The conversation also dives into affordability, why consumers choose “cool and fun” products long before they care about emissions, and how things like e‑bikes and cleaner small machines (like leaf blowers) can change daily life and local air quality. Ankit reflects on what he had to unlearn from big companies like Google, why patience and brutal feedback define startup culture, and how his Indian American journey, parenting, and the Bhagavad Gita shape his views on action, success, and legacy.00:00 – Introduction and why reimagining how we do things matters01:47 – Conifer's mission to replace 1 billion gas engines03:39 – Engines, electric motors, and rare earth materials 101 (toxicity, supply chains, and climate)12:32 – Building a hardware-first climate tech startup in a software-obsessed world15:36 – Raising capital for hard tech and telling an unconventional, big vision story18:13 – Sposor Break: Travelopod18:48 – Selling electrification: cool, fun, and affordable vs. abstract climate consciousness25:08 – From big tech to startups: patience, humility, and real-world feedback loops33:08 – Indian American founder, education, parenting, and the Bhagavad Gita on action and legacy39:09 – What Ankit wants Conifer to stand for: trust, honesty, and long-term impactShout out to ASAN (American South Asian Network) for everything they are doing, to Neesha for turning 30, to Farhan Akhtar for the upcoming sitar lessons, and to Akshay Bhatia for the effort and almost bringing it home at Pebble Beach!TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.  Start your next journey at vacation.travelopod.com

Gayathri Narayanan is the founder of Myndtree and a contemplative guide whose work centers on integrating deep inner inquiry with the realities of modern life. With more than three decades of sustained practice and study, she brings together the wisdom of the Narayana Guru lineage, as transmitted through her own Guru, Nitya Chaitanya Yati, with secular mindfulness and lived inquiry. Her grounding lies in Advaita Vedanta and Yoga, supported by long-term study of classical texts including the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and key works of Narayana Guru such as Ātmopadeśa Śatakam and Darśanamālā. Over time, her path expanded to include sustained study and practice in Buddhist traditions, with particular depth in Theravada teachings through close study with Gil Fronsdal, as well as engagement with Zen through teachings with Reb Anderson. More recently, she has begun studying Tibetan Buddhism with Anam Thubten.https://www.myndtree.org/

In this episode of the Kriya Yoga Podcast, Ryan Kurczak responds to a thoughtful question many sincere practitioners ask. What happens when we enter the Kriya path through clarity, discrimination, and philosophical coherence—yet feel hesitant around devotion? When Sāṃkhya's precision builds trust in the process, the Bhagavad Gita offers a first glimpse of theistic meaning, and Krishna appears as a guide rather than a belief—how do we understand devotion without forcing symbolism or sentiment? Ryan explores how devotion unfolds organically on the Kriya Yoga path, especially for those whose orientation begins with insight rather than bhakti. He speaks to the natural maturation of devotion as practice deepens, the subtle shift from conceptual understanding to experienced inner relationship, and the role of patience, honesty, and inner readiness. This conversation gently addresses whether devotion should be cultivated intentionally through study and openness, or allowed to arise on its own through sustained practice—and how both approaches can harmonize within a yogic worldview.

Namaskar.In this episode, Lord Krishna continues with Dhyāna Yoga, explaining the ideal way to practice meditation—covering the right environment, posture, and the art of focusing the mind. He emphasizes the importance of moderation in all aspects of life—whether in food, sleep, or physical activity—highlighting that true discipline lies not in extremes, but in balanced living.Krishna explains that a person's diet should be aligned with three key factors: one's age, the body's current condition, and the nature of one's work. The same principle applies to exercise and rest. Sudheer illustrates these ideas with practical and relatable examples.Krishna then addresses a common challenge in meditation—the mind's tendency to wander and feel bored when asked to concentrate. He explains that true progress comes from mastering the stability and focus of the mind through consistent practice.The episode also introduces the three gunas—Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas—with most individuals naturally inclined toward Rajas. Krishna further highlights the importance of empathy, reminding us that what causes pain or joy to us is likely to affect others in the same way.This leads to a deeper understanding of why, in Indian tradition, divinity is seen in all forms of life. The episode concludes by setting the stage for Arjun's profound questions about the nature of the mind, which will be explored further in the next episode.

Donald Trump says God is proud of him. During a bizarre, softball-filled press appearance marking his first year back in office, Trump claimed divine approval for his presidency—offered without evidence or irony. We unpack the religious delusion, the collapse of press accountability, and what it means when a sitting president openly frames himself as God's chosen leader. Beyond Trump, we take on a parade of church–state absurdities: Florida prisons ban the Bhagavad Gita for being "written in code," Oklahoma sheriffs tout Christian jailhouse conversions until lawyers step in, and a Texas county installs a Ten Commandments monument to dare the courts to stop them. We also cover Catholic leaders warning that U.S. foreign policy has lost its moral compass, new Pew data showing Catholicism rapidly declining in Latin America, and a sharp debate over protesters disrupting a Minnesota church linked to an ICE official—forcing the question of where religious freedom ends and accountability begins.

Today, I take you into Chapter 5 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna shifts the spotlight from what you do to how you are being when you do it. This is the heart of Karma Yoga — acting in the world without clinging to the outcome. We unpack the powerful metaphor of the lotus leaf (living in the world, untouched), explore the nature of witness consciousness, and look at what it really means to "renounce" in a modern world.
